KOLKATA: A constable of the 92 Battalion of the BSF shot dead an inspector of the 126 Battalion before killing himself at Tenpur near Krishnagar on Saturday afternoon. According to senior officials, the officers and personnel of the 92 Bn have been deputed to Delhi for the Commonwealth Games. The dead constable was the only one who have been left behind as custodian of the camp. The 126 Bn, which is primarily a training battalion have been sent to the camp till 92 Bn returns from Delhi. 
"It seems that the constable had an altercation with the inspector. It is possible that there was lack of understanding between the two as they belonged to different battalions. It seems that the constable, in a fit of rage first shot the inspector then turned the weapon on himself. We have ordered an inquiry but it will be very difficult to ascertain the actual reason as both have died," an officer said. 

Sources also said the constable may have felt left out after being asked to stay back. This may have been a cause behind his actions.
